About Me

LauraHi and welcome to North Idaho! I’m Laura and I love to be outside. I enjoy hiking, camping, skiing, snowshoeing and exploring with my husband, daughter and son. I love exploring North Idaho and the rest of North America.

There are so many things to discover in nature and I enjoy learning about each one from seeing my first pine marten to identifying a wildflower.

I started sharing my discoveries in 2009 when I began writing an outdoor column for my town’s weekly newspaper, the Bonners Ferry Herald. Since my first column on turtles I’ve written over 250 columns and have also written articles in Montana Outdoors, Backwoods Home magazine, BackHome magazine, The River Journal and Sandpoint Magazine. 

I graduated from the University of Alaska Anchorage with a Bachelor of Science in Natural Sciences, with an emphasis in geology and biology.

Along the way I’ve been lucky enough to see mountain goats in the Selkirk Mountains and accompany bear biologists into a black bear den to retrieve radio collars.

Thanks for exploring with me!
